Chapter 372: Director
Okay, hurry up and eat, and go out when you're done. You eat first, I'll go up and massage Huo Jiling for forty minutes and come down. Li Muyao massaged Huo Jiling three times a day according to the doctor's instructions.
Before Li Muyao went upstairs, she said to Chu Ranran with a disgusted face: "I will wash my face when I go back to the guest room in a while, and don't wear those makeup in class in the future, I almost didn't scare me and my nanny and aunt to death last night, it's too ugly."
There is also a change of your own clothes, the nanny has already helped you clean and dry last night, and you will find the nanny to ask for it later. ”
Li Muyao has a lot of clothes, but she is really not too used to others looking at her clothes, especially a young lady like Chu Ranran, who always feels that Li Muyao feels particularly awkward.
Forty minutes later, Li Muyao came down from upstairs, changed into a more formal set of clothes, and put on a beautiful light makeup for herself.
went up to the building arranged by the Huo family, Huang Yuying said to Chu Ranran: "We made an appointment with Director Liu Renyi, and the place of the appointment is the café opposite your Chu Jixing.
It's not just Director Liu who is here today, but also his old partner Wang Hong, the screenwriter.
Mu Yao, she plans to invest in this costume mythological movie of "Extreme Palace", but it is marked in the script you brought that it requires an investment of 60 million. Your sister Yao is willing to get 50 million, as for your side, do you want to take a little to make up the number?"
If it weren't for Li Muyao saying just now that she wanted to play with Chu Ranran, Huang Yuying would never have said this to Chu Ranran.
Chu Ranran swallowed his saliva directly, the last time Chu Ranran and Li Muyao invested in idol comedy movies together, it was only 10 million per person, and now Li Muyao directly invested 50 million, isn't this amount a bit big?
Chu Ranran turned her head to look at Li Muyao, who closed her eyes and recuperated after getting on the bus, she knew that Sister Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with herself, and she also knew that it should be her father's affair that made Li Muyao feel a little more sympathetic to herself, so she nodded directly: "Yes, I personally contributed 10 million, no problem."
It's just that, Sister Ying, if I invest, I may need your help, after all, I am a minor, and I don't want to let outsiders know that I have made money from my investment.
So, you see if the 10 million I invested can be counted on Sister Yao, and when I make a profit in the future, I can give me eighty percent of the 10 million. Sister Ying is Sister Yao's financial manager, these operations must be fine, right?"
After Chu Ranran's words, Huang Yuying also looked at Li Muyao's side, and saw that Li Muyao didn't have any instructions, so she shook her head directly: "This is not good, you don't want to think about what others know, you have to find a way to solve it yourself."
In fact, since you are willing to invest, there is no need to hide it, if you can let the people in your circle know that you have investment talent, it is also a good thing.
And the more capable you are, the future will be really good for you. "How to say that Huang Yuying used to be an assistant who worked with Huo Jiling for many years, and Huang Yuying still understands the operation of many companies and the psychology of senior executives and directors.
Seeing that Chu Ranran didn't speak, Huang Yuying didn't say much, and was a little uncomfortable, so she took out some sour horn cakes specially made by the Huo family's nanny for Huang Yuying from her bag to eat, as well as tangerine peel candy, all of which were sweet and sour, and suppressed the nausea.
After more than an hour, I finally arrived at the café opposite Chu Jixing.
Chu Ranran knew Liu Renyi and Wang Hong, so she walked in front and took Li Muyao and Huang Yuying to quickly lock in Director Liu and Wang, who had arrived early.
"Xiao Ranran, these two are your friends? Please sit down, I am Liu Renyi, and this is my old partner screenwriter Wang Hong. Liu Renyi is 52 years old, and he also made several smash hits five years ago.
Even many viewers will buy tickets to watch as long as they hear the names of Liu Renyi and Wang Hong.
But in the past five years, Liu Renyi's movies have not worked, and he can't even recover the cost of the movie.
Therefore, the script of this movie "Extreme Palace" has been looking for investors for more than three months, and no entertainment company is willing to invest. Not to mention, this investment costs 60 million, and no one wants to waste their money.
Yes, the movies directed by Liu Renyi now, in many people in the entertainment industry, are works with no future (money) and are not worth investing in.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Wang, Sister Yao is the investor who decided to invest in your movie, her name is Li Muyao, her side is her secretary, her name is Huang Yuying, and the person who contacted you before was Sister Ying.
Uncle Liu, you can tell Sister Yao what you think about the movie later, she has invested in a comedy movie "Crazy Ring" before, and it should be completed in two or three months. ”
Chu Ranran's comedy movie "Crazy Ring", Liu Renyi and Wang Hong both know it, and they can even be said to be familiar with each other.
"The comedy movie directed by Jiang Wu?"
Jiang Chao is indeed very familiar with Liu Renyi, the martial arts instruction in several previous movies was completed by Jiang Chao, if the Jiang Chao that Chu Ranran said is the person Liu Renyi knows, it should be the same person.
Jiang Chao is a ghost talent who has turned from a martial arts instructor to a comedy director, why is it a ghost talent?
is that every time he writes a script, no one is willing to invest in him to shoot, but is willing to spend a high price to buy the script and find other famous directors to shoot it.
In the script of "Crazy Ring", Jiang Chao has been looking for someone to invest, and like Liu Renyi now, he has been looking for several months but has not been able to attract investors, but a few months ago, it was rumored in the entertainment industry that Jiang Chao coaxed a straw bag daughter, not to mention investing in his script, and also brought in a super popular idol singer as the protagonist.
"Yes, the "Crazy Ring" filmed by Director Jiang was invested by me and Sister Yao, and of course, Chu Jixing, who will promote something in the future, will also take over.
Therefore, if Director Liu has any questions, just tell me Sister Yao directly.
My sister Yao is not a person in the entertainment industry, so Director Liu should not use words in the circle when explaining. Chu Ranran still did a good job of this, and acted as an intermediary between directors Li Muyao and Liu Renyi.
"Director Liu, hello screenwriter Wang, my name is Li Muyao, in fact, you don't need to explain it to me like Ran Ran. I really don't know much about the rules in the entertainment industry, but I am really interested in "Extreme Palace" written by Director Liu and Wang.
I invest in movies, but I don't care about anything, because of the publicity, the review or something, I really don't know anything, and you have to rely on Director Liu to be responsible for it.
Of course, if the funds of 60 million are not enough, Director Liu can also tell me that I will add more money here!"
After all, this movie is one of the movies that Chu Lili and Chen Jiao are very optimistic about, and it is also one of the movies that Li Muyao has not had in his previous life as the highest-grossing movie in 05 years.
It is rare to be able to use the cognition of his previous life to make money, and Li Muyao is a little more confident than before.
"Yes, Uncle Liu, you have to believe in my Sister Yao's strength, and after my Sister Yao invests money, she will never care how Uncle Liu shoots and what kind of actors he invites. Chu Ranran knew that what the director hated the most was investors and various related households stuffing people into the crew.
If it is an actor who fits the role of the script, like Director Liu, they are willing to accept it, but most of the actors who are stuffed into the crew are either vases or related households with zero acting skills, such people can't be scolded or beaten, which really gives the director the most headache.
This is also Director Liu's least favorite habit, and it is also one of the reasons why he has not been able to attract investment until now.
For five consecutive years, Director Liu has been scolded as a bad movie director, saying that he Jiang Lang will never turn over again in his life, but he still abides by a lot of rules that are not as good as fart, who is willing to invest money to ask him to make a movie?
